My Project

I teach at a close-knit rural elementary school in Arkansas. My students are approximately 330 sweet and spunky K-8 grade students who push me every day to be a better music teacher. While some of my students come from low-income families, all of them are rich in enthusiasm and joy! My students inspire me to share my enthusiasm for music with them and provide them with instruments to help them be more musical.

As a teacher of students who are beginning to develop their unique voices as singers and people, I want to help them breathe & move in relation to singing so they can more effectively share their singing voices with the world.

I want to bring materials into my classroom that will help my students learn fundamental techniques to use their voices to sing and express themselves..
